Wuhan sends medical supplies to Germany

A train carrying 500 metric tons of cargo left Wuhan, Hubei province, for Duisburg, Germany, on Wednesday to support the fight against COVID-19.

More than 300 metric tons of cargo was sent, consisting of personal protective equipment such as medical masks and gowns.

The train is expected to arrive in the western German city, a sister city of Wuhan since 1982, in 15 days.

It was the second train from Wuhan carrying materials to Europe. The first one left for Belgrade, Serbia, on May 9.

Authorities in Wuhan said the city will do its best to contribute more to the world in the anti-coronavirus effort in return for the help that it had received during the height of the crisis.
